Dear Becky, Bonnie and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Ann's passing. Your family was so special to us during the ice storm of 1998/99, I will never forget it.
Your mothers' sweet spirit was such a blessing to us during our visits and the times we were together. I have thought of her often over the last few days and can hear that sweet voice saying "K" for Kaleigh.
She always made us feel welcome and part of the family. I will pray for you during this time and especially for your Dad, whom I am sure is very sad and will miss her deeply. I pray that God's love, grace and mercy will get you all through the days ahead.

To the Family of Mrs. Ann Norvell,

We extend our deepest sympathy during your time of loss. Mrs. Norvell, each time she visited our office she brought the sunshine with her smile, laughter and the way she would look at her beloved Berkley when he would jokingly comment about her talking. God has called his Angel home after a job well done by his good and faithful servent. We, as so many take honor in having her touch our lives and cross our paths.

To My Good Friends Becky & Bonny
Growing up together in the same neighborhood, I always enjoyed visiting your house. The talks and laughs your mother shared I will forever remember. My visits to your parents house have continued throughout my adulthood, and each time I left with uplifted spirits. God will help you get through this trying time. Remember the good memories and hold on to them to be cherished. I love you both and will keep you in my prayers to help your healing .
